The museum was an hour away from the hotel. Ming Shu went to the bus with Cheng Xiang and Jiang Le. Lu Zhan and the rest were from a different class.
âSang Yin, do you want to play a game?â Cheng Xiang asked Ming Shu.
âWhat game?â
âChicken dinner.â
âChicken dinner?â Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. âCan you eat chicken after playing the game? A real chicken?â
â...â
âHahaha.â Jiang Le showed Ming Shu his cellphone. âThis game. It has been really popular recently.â
Ming Shu took out her cellphone. The Host had this game, but she rarely played it.
âCome, let me guide you. Iâm a skilled player.â
âDonât listen to him. He managed to die the moment he landed 10 in a roll.â
âThat was an accident!â
Ming Shu familiarized herself with the game and played one round with Cheng Xiang. After some time, they pulled Lu Zhan into the game.
Lu Zhanâs skills were not bad so he led them to victory. After that, he didnât want to play with them anymore. He said that they were too lousy.
Cheng Xiang and Jiang Le: â...â
âSang Yin, be more serious.â
âI want some food.â
Jiang Le took out a bag of snacks magically. âIf you win one match, this is all yours. Show Brother Zhan that we can win without him.â
Ming Shu: â...â
Iâm not familiar with this game. I need some time to get used to it.
She died many times.
Just as Ming Shu felt that she as getting the hang of the game, the bus reached their destination.
Old Wang held a loudspeaker in one hand and asked everyone to follow the guide together. After they finished listening to the guide talk, they had two hours of free time. They could look around the museum or walk outside.
At the start, Ming Shu followed the main group. However, she lost them after a while.
She started walking around the museum alone.
She saw Yi Jiaojiao walking up the stairs from the corner of her eye.
Ming Shu walked up the stairs. Someone popped out and stopped her.
Ming Shu: â...â Mister, where did you come from? Didnât you see someone going up just now?
The fake female protagonist is invisible?
âThe second floor is closed today,â the staff said apologetically.
âSomeone went up.â Ming Shu pointed upstairs. âI saw her.â
The staff got nervous when he heard what Ming Shu said. There must be some important person upstairs.
Yi Jiaojiao was invited down after a while.
Her face turned black when she saw Ming Shu.
Ming Shu smiled and bowed tp her. âYouâre welcome. Itâs my responsibility to take care of a lost classmate.
âYou...â
Yi Jiaojiao clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She scoffed and then left.
âWait, little cutie!â Ming Shu shouted. However, she didnât chase after Yi Jiaojiao.
She completed her daily mission of angering her little cutie. She should reward herself with two bags of snacks... Itâs forbidden to bring food into the museum. So angry.
Ming Shu looked up the stairs. Why did Yi Jiaojiao go up? So that she could meet some wealthy and powerful person? How did she know that there would be someone powerful upstairs?
Ming Shu walked out of the museum and found a restaurant.
The moment she sat down, a few cars drove out of the museum.
One of the car windows wound down. Ming Shu jumped up and walked out of the restaurant.
The cars disappeared from the street.
...
The young man in the car had a pale face. The wind blew in from the window and messed up his hair.
He reached out and clutched his chest.
He looked outside the window with a dazed expression.
âYoung Master, are you feeling uncomfortable?â The middle-aged man beside him, who seemed like a butler, looked at the man worriedly.
The young man pursed his lips. âNo.â
âIf you are uncomfortable, you must tell me.â The butler closed the car window. âDonât let the wind blow on you.â
The young man acknowledged the butler.
âLady and Master will be out of the country for a long time. Master asked me to find a new apartment for you.â
âAnything is fine.â
The young man closed his eyes. He didnât want to talk.
The butler swallowed the rest of his words.
...
The museum trip ended. While going back, Ming Shu used her skills to prove that without Lu Zhan, they could only lose.
âThis game is too difficult.â Ming Shu hugged her snacks. She didnât want to play anymore.
She was more interested in snacks.
Jiang Le noticed that Ming Shuâs technique was not bad, but she was just not familiar with the game. Also, her focus was on her snacks.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMiss Sang Yin...â
Jiang Le winked at Ming Shu.
Ming Shu: â...â
âIf you be more serious and show Brother Zhan that we can do it without him too, I will treat you to a meal after we return to school.â
âReally?â
âWhy would I lie to you?â
âDeal.â
In the last game, Ming Shu used her snacks... wait, no. She used her technique to win the game.
It was just a game. With snacks as my motivation, nothing can stop me!
Lu Zhan: â...â
Did you buy a buff?
Jiang Le showed Ming Shu his cellphone.
âI made a bet with Brother Zhan just now. We will have a good meal.â
Ming Shu: â...â Does that mean that if we lost, we wouldnât have a meal?
...
It was 7 PM when they returned to school. Many parents were waiting outside the school gate. The students who stayed in school left with their homeroom teachers.
The Host didnât stay in the schoolâs dormitory. Her familyâs car seemed normal among all the expensive cars parked outside the school.
The Host lived with her grandfather. They stayed in an old villa that was not very large.
The area they lived in was quiet. Most of the people who lived here were old people.
The house was quiet too. There was a faint herbal scent in the air.
The servants were tidying things in the living room.
âYoung Miss, you are back.â
âYes...â Ming Shu changed her shoes and walked in.
âOld Mister is in the study. He asked you to find him when you come back.â The servants saw Ming Shu walking up the stairs so they hurriedly reminded her.
Ming Shu nodded. She put down her bag in her room and went to the study. She knocked on the door.
âCome in.â
The Hostâs motherâs surname was Wen. Their family specialized in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the Hostâs mother didnât take over her fatherâs business.
The old master only had a daughter. He didnât have a son.
The Host was brought over here on the old masterâs request. He wanted someone to inherit the business.
The Hostâs mother felt guilty for not taking over her fatherâs business so she didnât dare to defy him.
However, the Host didnât like all these things too. After the old master taught her for a while, he gave up. But he didnât ask the Host to go back to her parents.
The Host could live anywhere with her personality.
âGrandfather.â
Ming Shu looked at the old man who was drinking tea and smiled.
Old Master Wen looked up and asked in concern. âDid you have fun these two days?â
âNot bad.â
âThatâs good.â Old Master Wen smiled. âOur Yinyin is all grown up now. You must learn to take care of yourself.â
Old Master Wen talked to her for a while before saying, âI have something to tell you.â
âPlease say it.â
âA few days from now, someone is coming to stay with us for a short period of time. You two grew up together. Do you still remember Brother Yu Shen?â
